You can select the "Create Community" button from your Reddit home page, as seen below.

While logged in to your Reddit account from your web browser of choice, you can also go to the “Create a Subreddit” page. There, you’ll add some basic information and make some selections around what kind of community you want to create.

Picking a name

This is the foundation of your community’s identity. Whatever you type in is exactly what you’ll see at the top of your community and in the URL redditors will use to access it. Once you click “Create Community” at the end of this form, the name will be locked.

When choosing a name, make sure…

it’s not already taken (you can double-check by typing reddit.com/r/ followed by the name you’re considering),

it has the capitalization you prefer (there’s no changing this later), and

it’s 20 characters or fewer.

Once you've decided what type of community you'd like to create and whether it's appropriate to age gate the community or not, you're ready to create your new home on Reddit.

Currently, this feature is only available in the iOS app and for a small percentage of Android users. Check our section on native app mod tools for further information on the mod tools available to you within the apps.

In the app, you'll find the community creation button at the top of the list of communities you've joined.

From there, you'll be prompted to set your community's name, which needs to be 20 characters or less and can not be edited after the community is created. After you've chosen your community's name, click next and put in a description of your community. Once you're happy with the description, click next again and set what type of community you'd like to have and whether or not the community should be 18+ or not. Click the "create community" button to finalize the creation process. If successful, you will be immediately directed to the community.
